Unnecessary detail.

> how to get my articles to stay at a low reading angle

I don't know what this even means. What's a "low reading angle"?

> instead of getting flung back in my face by an impatient editor

This is factually incorrect. The author was the editor, and the person doing the flinging was the founder.

> the experience was invaluable

I'm not a fan of just blunting telling the reader "you should care about this".

> it's time I shared how to write a good opening paragraph

Redundant. The title of the article is "How to Write an Opening Sentence".

I really don't think what you have here is an improvement.
